What is microhizal root?
A root of any plant having micorhizal association is known as micorhizal root.
What is the function of haustorium in parasitic fungi?
Almost 80% of plants with roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis with fungus. Mycorrhiza, a “fungus root”, forms haustoria, the portion of the parasitic fungus which penetrates the root systems of other plants in order to intercept the nutrients going into the plant. However, as mentioned above, mycorrhiza roots participate in mutualistic symbiosis, which means that the mycorrhiza do not just take, but they give as well. The haustoria gives the plant certain minerals the plant cannot absorb from the soil. --A.S.
What is a root system in tulsi plant?
tap root because tulsi is an adicot plant.
Is the fly agaric fungus edible?
The fly agaric fungi (Amanita muscaria) has a mycorrhizal association with birch and other trees. The root tips of the tree are surrounded by fungal hyphae which capture nutrients. This is a mutually beneficial relationship in with the fungus gains sugars from the tree and the tree benefits from the ability of the fungi to capture various minerals.
What advantages do some plants have when they form associations with fungi?
Symbiosis requires that both organisms benefit. Plants that associate themselves with fungi can obtain nutrients that would be otherwise unavailable. Citrus trees are an example. Fungi grow within the root tissue and help to provide certain minerals. The fungi benefit by getting nourishment from the citrus tree.
What is the association of a plant root and a fungus called?
The beneficial relationship between a plant and fungus is called "Eukaryotic".
What structure of a fungus is similar to the root of a plant?
rhizoid
What fungus is usually associated with the root zone of a plant?
Glomeromycetes
Which scenarios describe an ecosystem?
Fungus growing on the leaves of plants describes a mutually beneficial ecosystem. The leaves benefit by more-efficient mineral uptake and the fungus benefits by the sugars translocated to the root by the plant.
What kingdom does fungi live in?
The word mycorrhizae refers to a symbiotic partnership that includes both the fungus and the plant kingdom. Mycorrhizal fungi are the fungus kingdom portion. They attach to the plant root of the plant kingdom. The fungus root that results is called mycorrhizae.
What is the name of helper that maximizes the root surface area of a plant?
Fungus .as Mycorrhizae .

How are mushroom and horseradish different?
Horseradish is the root of a plant (rather like a carrot but white). A mushroom is the fruiting body of a fungus and is made from compact mycelia.
In a mycorrhiza what do the filamentous fungi provide to the plant?
The fungus grows around the plants root hairs and increases the roots surface area which means greater absorption of nutrients for the plant.
What causes plant root rot?
Waterlogged soil or compost round the roots for too long without drainage. Mould, fungus, rust, or insects attacking the roots.
